Abstract: An engagement classifier for a group chatbot is trained by leveraging the implicit dataset generated by humans engaging in both direct messages as well as group conversations. Human-to-human direct messages are used as an approximate representation of the domain knowledge and expertise of each user. The decision to engage in a group conversation is assumed to be based on that domain knowledge. The knowledge representations and instances of engagements in group conversations yields an effective set of features and labels which can be used to model the engagement decision. The same transfer learning technique is used to generate a knowledge representation for the group chatbot. Given this representation of the domain knowledge of the chatbot, the classifier can predict whether it should engage in any particular group conversation.

Abstract: A knowledgebase of an expert system is populated with rules inferred from a set of business processes that govern the manner in which the business interacts with users. Each business process contains an input, an output, an action, and a set of dependency relationships that relate pairs of the input, the output, and the action. Each process's input, output, action, and dependency relationships are translated, respectively, into a subject, an object, a predicate, and a set of dependency relationships among the subject, object, and predicate, of a natural-language rule. Each rule is stored in the expert system's knowledgebase as a directed graph, and nodes representing each stored subject, object, and predicate are assigned domain classifications as a function of characteristics of the business rule. These domain classifications are represented within the knowledgebase as a set of domain classifications determined as a further function of characteristics of the business rule.

Abstract: Clustering a set of natural language queries NLQs based on a set of significant events retrieved from a corpus stored in a computer system is described. A set of NLQs is used by a search engine for searching a selected corpus to retrieve respective sets of significant events. The set of NLQs is clustered into a plurality of NLQ clusters according to a threshold number of common significant events being returned by the search engine for respective members of an NLQ cluster.

Abstract: Answer effectiveness evaluations include providing, by a computing device, an answer to a search query received from a user, and in response to receiving a subsequent search query from the user, determining by the computing device a level of effectiveness of the answer to the search query with respect to the user. The determination includes comparing aspects of the search query to aspects of the subsequent search query, calculating, based on the comparing, a relevance score that indicates a measure of similarity between the aspects of the search query and the aspects of the subsequent search query, and determining that the answer effectively answers the search query when the relevance score exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: Clustering a set of natural language queries NLQs based on a set of significant events retrieved from a corpus stored in a computer system is described. A set of NLQs is used by a search engine for searching a selected corpus to retrieve respective sets of significant events. The set of NLQs is clustered into a plurality of NLQ clusters according to a number of common significant events being returned by the search engine for respective members of an NLQ cluster.

Abstract: A knowledge graph is built based on a corpus stored in the computer system. The corpus includes a set of events and each event includes a respective set of entities. A first set of entities is identified in the NLQ. The first set of entities is used to identify a first set of significant events in the selected corpus in a first search depth. A second set of entities is identified in the first set of significant events. The knowledge graph determines which ones of the second set of entities are related to the entities in the first set of entities to produce a filtered second set of entities. The filtered second set of entities is used to identify a second set of significant events in the selected corpus in a second search depth. Members of the first and second set of significant events are presented to a user.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to digital image processing for diagnosis of a subject. More specifically, the embodiments relate to automation of diagnoses through data interpretation. An image is acquired from the subject. Elements are recognized within the image based on morphological features. The image is compared to learned data. Based on the comparison, a probability of a potential diagnosis(es) is calculated. A diagnosis of the subject is determined based on the potential diagnosis(es) and the calculated probability. The diagnosis may be changed based on a new image acquired from the subject.
